A small memorial park I bet you have driven by many times not realizing it was there. It features paved walking trails bordered with river rock and local plants in an artistic, relaxing way. Surprisingly peaceful despite its proximity to the I54. The center of the park has a flagpole with benches around it and the built up wall blocks the freeway noise effectively and features three flagpoles with the POW/MIA, Texas state, and the Team Bliss flags as well as more shrubs and landscaping.
